COUPLING & REPAIR
Style 175 GTO Threaded Gas Valve FIPS x FIPS
Gas-Tight, Maintenance-Free and Permanently Lubricated
- Maintenance-free service with permanent, factory-installed lubrication
- Low operating torque for no plug “freezing”
- 100% shutoff; Optional 360° turn or 90° open-left operation
- Tamper-proof design
- No leakage to the atmosphere
Designed to meet the requirements of ANSI B16.33 1981, the Dresser Style 175 GTO gas service valve incorporates the same complementary sealing principles as the Style 175 meter curb valve, yet offered with threaded ends for steel to steel connections. Each GTO valve is 100% factory-tested at high and low pressure while in a clear, non corrosive fluid.
Like the Style 175 meter curb valve, the GTO is assembled at the factory and sealed against tampering by a spring-loaded stainless steel retaining ring that cannot be removed with ordinary tools. It is tamper proof as specified in DOT 192.363 Part C.
A TFE coated retaining ring, plus permanently lubricated port seals, help ensure low, uniform operating torque, preventing the plug from freezing to the body.
